Concepts
What a channel is, who holds the record, and how a surface answers to the conversation that opened it.
These pages explain the model Crusible runs on. Read one when a guide’s behaviour makes more sense with the reason behind it.
- Channels are units of work Keep a conversation and its related tools together around a piece of work.
- The conversation is the record Messages, decisions and linked work share a channel without replacing their source records.
- Every surface has a provider How providers, conversation bridges and embedded links differ.
- Surfaces answer to the conversation Inspect documents, files and proposed changes alongside the channel conversation.
- Agents are teammates Agents work through attributed requests, replies and tools, with access bounded by the work they can perform.
- The signal dial Channel attention, folded updates and notification delivery are separate controls.
